Adult Summer Reading

Being an adult doesn't mean you can't enjoy Summer Reading!

Cool off with a good book or take along an audio book as you travel or work around the house or yard this summer - from your local library - and enter to win prizes in our annual Adult Summer Reading Programs.

Each book, etc. read or listened to earns you an entry for the eight weekly prize drawings, so the more you check out, the better your chances of winning! Names for prizes will be drawn each Monday evening, and a Grand Prize Drawing will be held on August 1st. Stop in the library this summer and READ, Color, Create and have FUN!
